Sighting Details

I, along with a friend, was outside on a clear dark night, moon and stars visible. As I was looking up at the sky I was observing the stars. While doing so, I noticed there were four sphere/orb like objects moving. They were bright and orange in color. I alerted my friend as he also watched. The first two orbs were side by side with a gap in between. The other two were behind the first two, but spaced wider apart. They were moving in a formation at a smooth pace. There was no noise. As the formation approached near my vicinity, I began to hear dogs barking in the distance. When the formation began to pass, I noticed the orbs brightness begin to diminish (one by one) and eventually go dark. I got into my vehicle and began to drive, keeping my eyes in the sky. After 30 seconds, I noticed another bright, orange orb in the sky, approaching the same direction of the first four. I got out of my vehicle and again observed bright, orange orbs, but this time the orbs were in a straight path following one another. There was approximately 30 seconds of gap time from one orb to another with a total of 7 orbs. Again, the flight of the orbs were a smooth pace, no noise, and as they passed my location, they would dim out and go dark one by one. Naturally, at first, I thought the orbs were lights from an airplane, but as I watched them closely, I could tell they were not due to the precise smooth movement of them. Also, before, during, and after, there were various airplanes in the area, as they normally are, and I could make out the difference between them. While this event was taking place, my friend just kept asking me, "What the hell are they?".
